What we're trying to do is stimulate discussions among senior scholars about the nature of political power in the Muslim world, both historically and today.

We are trying to take advantage on the rich experience in Islam and the Middle East in this region.

The commoners can become knowledgeable only by emulating the senior scholars who are more knowledgeable and by following their sayings and teachings.

Many people genuinely do not wish to be saints, and it is possible that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never had much temptation to be human beings.

The greatest power is not money power, but political power.

The humblest painter is a true scholar; and the best of scholars the scholar of nature.
